- Mexico City (CDMX)...The largest metropolian area in the Western Hemisphere with the 2nd largest metro system in the Americas...10th busiest in the world! Started in 1969, this remarkable rapid transit system includes 195 stations and over 140 miles of route. Ridership is 1.6 BILLION annually. The cars run on pneumatic tires which give the system incredible speed and eliminates that loud screeching so typical of regular subways. These are largely clean train cars with ample seating and have even a reserved front section for women with children during rush hour times. Only 5 pesos (27 cents) to get on and have access to one of the world great cities with amazing architecture, arts, fabulous food, and incredible culture. Airport to downtown is faster than using a taxi and you can use the Metro to wonderful neighborhoods like Coyoacan and visit the homes of Frieda Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and even Leon Trotsky. Also connect with the major bus stations that go to the wonderful ciities and towns in the rest of the country. Join me on a quick ride to see just how easy and fast it is!
nice to see, it reminds me a little the subway from Sao Paulo, but a little bit cleaner. New subscriber here!
My city is Boston and we have the oldest subway in North America (1895) which means it's full of interesting history but not exactly the fastest system. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Actually the Sao Paulo (Brazil) system is often not included in many lists of largest in the world because it's made of 2 systems, one called Metro (100km, 100 stations) and another called CPTM (250km, 102 stations), so many people assume the Metro is everything and forget the CPTM system, booth systems operate together and transfers between them are free. So Sao Paulo, has 350km of revenue tracks, 203 stations, 11 lines (including 1 monorail), and a daily ridership of about 5 million passengers.
That's interesting, I'm going to look that up some more... Thank you for watching!

I never knew mexico had a subway. Very cool!
Several cities in Mexico have them, the capital obviously having the largest... I've been on subway systems in a number of cities around the world and I rate the Mexico City one in the top three... Thank you for watching!
We all ride donkeys, but metro is faster 😂

Latin americas largest metro system? You mean, largest metro system in the americas.
From what I have read, it goes NYC, Washington DC, and then Mexico City the difference between the last two being only a handful of miles... There is an argument to be made that the Sao Paulo Brazil system is bigger than Mexico City but the system is split up in such a way that it seems to be two entities...
